Dr Kemp English

Dr Kemp English is one of New Zealand’s leading concert performers.

Much in demand as a solo organist, specialist fortepiano exponent and collaborative pianist, he relishes the opportunity to work in a diverse array of styles and periods.

Dr English enjoyed a distinguished studentship at the Royal Academy of Music in London and later completed a Master of Arts degree in Music Performance from the University of York. In 2001 he was elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of Music in recognition of his performing and teaching career.

Four years later, after more than a decade as Executant Lecturer in fortepiano, organ and harpsichord performance and Organist at the University of Otago in New Zealand, he made the decision to freelance and concentrate on his increasingly hectic performing and recording career.

He continues to tour Australasia and Europe as both a solo and collaborative performer. In 2014 he gained a PhD from the University of Adelaide.
